spreading the love

As you may remember, right before Christmas I posted images from a collaboration with Manvi of Mochatini for Bright. Bazaar. I'm thrilled that I was asked back to help with the Valentine's Day Tablescape for Two. Will and Manvi didn't want the traditional pinks and reds, and nothing with hearts, so for someone who loves color as much as I do, I surprised myself by suggesting the black and white color palette. And beeing the typeaholic I am, I instantly knew that I wanted to use this gorgous ampersand (typeface called Paris by Moshik Nadav, found via Pinterest). I was so thrilled when Manvi suggested adding gold to the color palette and I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of the paper products.
I'm still a bit shocked that I was so into the black and white, but it's perfectly approporiate for what Manvi and Will had envisioned: sophisticated, chic, and elegant. And when Manvi shared her amazing styled photos, I nearly squealed with delight. She is so talented! I had been so curious as to what she would choose for florals and love that she went with ranuculus and deep purple anemones. Everything came together so beautifully and I'm once again honored to have been asked to participate.
It's been so fun working with Manvi and Will. We have some more great things coming your way in the following months, so stay tuned! But till then, I wish you and your Valentine the lovelist of days. Remember what it's about... don't get carried away with all the hoopla and over priced restaurants, flowers, and gifts. Spend some time together and spread a little love!
See more of from this shoot on Mochatini and Bright.Bazaar. Thanks Will and Manvi for including me on one of my favorite projects of 2012!

If you are a designer or lifestyle blogger, I'm sure you heard about Alt Summit's "White Party". Last year I told myself I would attend Alt in 2012, but my contract for the quarterly assignment has been extemded another year. If I had attended this year, of course a new white dress would have been in order! I love the details on these from ASOS.

Check back often, because I'll update this as often as possible and when it is, I'll keep you posted. I should preface this post by saying that the dates below are key dates for most exhibitors, but there are all sorts of other deadlines that don't pertain to an exhibitor like myself. For example, there's a deadline for ordering a waste basket- something which doesn't interest me. So please know this list does not cover everything! Pay attention the the barage of emails you'll start to get from NSS and vendors!
If you're registered to exhibit this year, you should have received an email with a link to the Set-Up Manual. Review it carefully for all the details regarding set up at Javits.
